The History Of FORD Excursion
![how many ford excursions were made how many ford excursions were made](https://www.cars-directory.net/articles/ford/excursion/2000-2004-Ford-Excursion-logo.jpg)
The Ford Excursion was a full-size sport utility vehicle produced by the Ford Motor Company between model years 2000 and 2005 (2006 in Mexico). It was the largest SUV in the lineup while it was produced. Based on the Super Duty pickup truck platform, it offered large V8 (gasoline and diesel) and V10 (gasoline) engines (while it was also Ford's only V10-powered SUV), and seating for up to 9 passengers. Along with the Hummer H2, it is a popular SUV for conversion into a limousine. It was designed to slot above the Ford Expedition as the flagship in the company's SUV lineup. The Excursion was designed to be classified as a heavy-duty vehicle, as for commercial or rural use, with a gross vehicle weight rating of over 8,500lb (3,900kg) , which exempted the vehicle from Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) fuel economy regulations and quoting United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) fuel economy estimates . Its position in the Ford SUV lineup was replaced in 2007 by an extended-length version of the Expedition. The last Excursion was produced on September 30, 2005, at Ford's Louisville plant, although the last Excursions were sold as 2006 models for the Mexican market. Production was canceled to focus on Super Duty trucks.
Introduced in 1999 as a 2000 model year, the Excursion was immediately criticized for being too large to fit in most home garages and its poor fuel economy (around 12mpg-US (20L/ 100km; 14mpg-imp)-14mpg-US (17L/ 100km; 17mpg-imp) highway, 8mpg-US (29L/ 100km; 9.6mpg-imp) city, and 10mpg-US (24L/ 100km; 12mpg-imp)-11mpg-US (21L/ 100km; 13mpg-imp) combined highway and city) relative to the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL, its chief competitors . Shortly before launch, the Sierra Club awarded the Excursion an "Exxon Valdez" award for this reason, in reference to the ill-fated oil tanker. Sales were initially good, but slowed as gasoline prices rose. In 2003, the 7.3 L Powerstroke diesel was replaced with a more powerful, 6.0 L Powerstroke diesel, giving 0 to 60mph times of under 10 seconds with reduced noise levels. Industry insiders expected Ford to stop producing the Excursion, but sales continued through the 2005 model year, for which it received a minor facelift, and production of the Excursion ended in September 2005.
Ford needed to free up capacity at the Louisville plant that produces the Super Duty pickup trucks. A more fuel efficient, extended-length Expedition, named the Expedition EL (Max in Canada and Mexico), has replaced the Excursion in the company's lineup for the 2007 model year.
A 4-speed automatic transmission was standard, a 5-speed automatic introduced in 2003, which also saw the availability of an upmarket Eddie Bauer trim line. The grille was updated for 2005. The 5.4L Modular V8 puts out 255hp (190kW) & 350lb·ft (475N·m). The 6.8L Modular V10 puts out 310hp (231kW) & 425lb·ft (576N·m). The 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel puts out 325hp (242kW) & 560lb·ft (759N·m).
The truck uses code U4 in the 5th and 6th positions of the VIN.
Engines included the following:
- 5.4L V8, 255hp (2000-2005)
- 6.8L V10, 310hp (2000-2005)
- 7.3L Diesel V8, 250hp (2000-2003)
- 6.0L Diesel V8, 325hp (2003-2005)
The Excursion included a unique feature called the "BlockerBeam", which was an under-bumper rollbar-like device that helped stop smaller vehicles from sliding under an Excursion during collisions. The BlockerBeam concept is now widely used in the industry.
- A Mystery Machine limousine of this Excursion was used in the 2004 movie Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed.
- Car Talk did a humorous translation of Ford's Excursion press release.
- The Excursion is often mentioned in Rap lyrics, one of the most popular being by Krazie Bone in Chamillionaire's hit song Ridin', and also an entire song about the vehicle called "Candy Coated Excursion" by E.S.G. (featuring Slim Thug).
- Avon Barksdale, a character from HBO series The Wire drives a Ford Excursion in the ninth episode of the first season.

The Ford Excursion is still alive and it's available with six doors
![how many ford excursions were made Sean Szymkowski](https://images.hgmsites.net/sml/avatar-image-for-sszymkowski_100684881_s.jpg)
The last Ford Excursion rolled off the assembly line in 2005, but one Oklahoma-based shop hasn't let the hulking SUV die.
Based in Guthrie, Oklahoma, Custom Autos by Tim continues to make "new" Ford Excursions. The Detroit News profiled the shop in a Tuesday report. The shop typically marries an older Excursion body to a new F-Series Super Duty pickup chassis to create a "new" vehicle. Buyers have a few options. Current owners can bring their SUVs to owner Tim Huskey for a total rebuild, the shop can start from scratch with a Super Duty chassis the buyer provides, or the shop can use one of its stockpile of Super Duty chassis that it offers to buyers. The shop's biggest hook, however, is the fact that it will use the Super Duty chassis to create a stretched Excursion with six doors.

'New' Ford Excursion SUV from Custom Autos by Time
Prices start at $40,000 for buyers who bring their own vehicles, but Huskey said most people spend between $50,000 and $100,000 for a conversion. The business, to put it bluntly, is quite stable.
Huskey said he's certain he has enough business to last him for the next five years. It takes two months to complete each build, and right now, there's a two-month waiting list. The shop does about 40 Excursions each year.
!['New' Ford Excursion SUV from Custom Autos by Time 'New' Ford Excursion SUV from Custom Autos by Time](https://images.hgmsites.net/med/ford-excursion_100699983_m.jpg)
The work varies for each customer, but Huskey is a master fabricator when it comes to building the "new" models. For example, one Excursion kept the original SUV's engine, dashboard, and transmission, while the rest was made up of used Excursions and F-Series Super Duties that had been scrapped due to damage. With business booming, Huskey said he'll need to start using F-650 chassis since they still match up with the Excursion's body. Unfortunately, he added he's not able to work with the latest trucks from Ford with their aluminum bodies .
At Ford, there's reportedly no regret for ending production of the mammoth SUV more than a decade ago. For Huskey, it created an opportunity.

2000-2005 Ford Excursion: Performance, Price, And Photos

China’s 2000cc Tourer Has Way More Power Than The Honda Gold Wing
America’s new 4-cylinder motorcycle makes harley-davidsons seem tasteless, the most affordable american suv with a v6 in 2024.
As the adage goes, size matters, and that is one of the key reasons why the Ford Excursion is still relevant nearly 20 years after production ended on the heavy-duty, large SUV. Ford launched the Excursion in 1999 as a 2000 model year with just one generation-spanning until 2005, was based on the Ford F-250 heavy-duty pickup, and is the largest SUV to ever enter mass production.
The model was launched as the SUV craze had firmly planted its feet in the automotive landscape and was created to rival the Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet Suburban — but only for sales as the GM products couldn’t compete with the Excursion’s massive footprint.
The Excursion was both loved and hated. Its huge dimensions and heavy-duty, truck-like performance gained it a niche following among those who enjoy the larger things in life, while its insane appetite for gasoline, and again, massive size, put it in the crosshairs of environmental groups as a prominent example of the excess of the automotive industry and how cars were harming the planet.
The Sierra Club environmental organization dubbed it the Ford “Valdez,” a play on the Exxon Valdez oil supertanker which spilled nearly 11 million gallons of crude oil into Prince William Sound, Alaska, in 1989. No matter which camp automotive enthusiasts found themselves in regarding the Excursion, it remains one of the most notable SUVs of the 21st century.

2000-05 Ford Excursion Performance And Capability
The 2000-05 Ford Excursion was available in several trims, including:
- XLT Premium
- Eddie Bauer
- Limited Ultimate
To move the Excursion’s sizeable heft, the SUV was powered by a quartet of engines with equally sizeable displacements. The standard engine is a 5.4-liter Triton V-8 engine offering 255 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, while an optional, massive 6.8-liter Triton V-10 delivers 310 horsepower and 425 pound-feet of torque. For the first three years of production (2000-03), the Navistar, 7.3-liter, turbocharged V-8 diesel Excursion specs were 250 horsepower and 525 pound-feet of torque.
From 2003-05, the available diesel was reduced in size to a 6.0-liter turbo V-8 that offered more power, 325 horsepower, and a massive 560 pound-feet of torque. The gasoline engines and 7.3-liter turbo diesel are mated to a four-speed automatic transmission while the 6.0-liter diesel is fitted with a five-speed automatic. Rear and four-wheel drive were standard depending on engine choice/trim.
When fitted with the V-10 engine, the Excursion can rumble from 0-60 mph in 10.9 seconds and needs 18.1 seconds to cross the quarter-mile mark at 75 mph . These figures are undoubtedly impacted by its incredibly hefty 7,000-pound-plus weight.
Another impressive figure, though for opposite reasons, is the Excursion’s ultra-thirsty nature. Due to its classification as a heavy-duty vehicle, the Excursion was not subject to EPA ratings, but tests undertaken during its heyday showed the Excursion’s mpg was about 10 to 14 mpg for gasoline versions while diesel powertrains could manage about 16-18 mpg .
As the Excursion was based on the F-250 pickup, it was no surprise that it has heavy-duty capabilities in addition to its ability to move plenty of passengers and cargo with ease. The base V-8 engine can haul between 6,100-7,200 pounds, the V-10 has a towing capacity of 9,600 to 11,000 pounds, and the diesel powertrains can handle 10,000 to 11,000 pounds. Even two decades later, these towing figures are wildly impressive for an SUV, even for one that's based on a pickup.

Exterior Design
Ford didn’t stray too far away from its heavy-duty pickups in designing the Excursion, as it almost resembles a crew cab F-250 of the time with a truck “cap.” One of the most dominant features of the Excursion, other than its overall footprint and high ride height, was its four, full-sized doors, with the rear wheel arches not interfering with rear-door access, and massive rear side and rear windows.
The Excursion was available with the following exterior colors:
- Dark Satin Green
- Deep Wedgewood Blue
- Medium Steel Blue
- Oxford White
- Toreador Red
- Silver Birch
- Arizona Beige

Interior Quality And Technology
Like the exterior, the Excursion’s cabin was nearly a carbon copy of the F-250 with a basic steering wheel with a few controls and a busy dash covered in knobs and buttons for climate control/radio/towing functions and a large center console.
The cabin of the Excursion was fairly basic, even for its time, but it did offer amenities in the form of full leather seating, power-adjustable brake, and throttle pedals (with an available memory feature), a rear seat entertainment system with a VCR and wireless headphones and six-CD changer.
Where the Excursion separated itself from its truck sibling in seating arrangements. The Excursion could seat up to nine passengers with a split, folding bench in the second row and a removable bench in the rear. Those needing less passenger hauling capabilities could also opt for the second-row captain’s chairs in the Limited trim models.
Though it features ample passenger space in all three rows, the Excursion didn’t skimp on cargo capability. Even with the third row in place, the Ford offered a huge 48 cubic feet of cargo space. For perspective, that’s seven more cubic feet than what’s available in the current Chevy Suburban. Additionally, unlike its F-250 sibling, the Excursion’s rear glass operated like a liftgate, but the lower “tailgate” split and opened toward each curb instead of lowering like a traditional tailgate.

2000-05 Ford Excursion Price And Availability
The Excursion provided a lot of bang for the buck with its capabilities and space with prices ranging from $38,035 to $51,570 for new 2005 models, the last year of production. Interestingly enough given its cult-like status, capabilities that are still relatively impressive today, and somewhat limited numbers, used Excursions haven’t depreciated nearly as much as other full-size SUVs of the time. According to CarGurus, the average price paid for a 2000-05 Excursion between August 20, 2022, and February 15, 2023, was still over $17,000 .
If you're interested in purchasing an Excursion should ensure its recalls have been fixed, including the installation of a fused wiring harness to the speed control system which, if left unfixed, could result in a fire. Other recalls include fixes for the driver or passenger seatbelts not fully latching, a camshaft sensor replacement to avoid engine stall, and a fix for the airbag inflator canister to assure it deploys properly.
The Excursion’s biggest safety feature was its sheer size. Otherwise, it included anti-lock brakes, front-impact airbags for the driver and front passenger, and a BlockerBeam, a steel cross-member installed below the front bumper that prevented smaller cars from being engulfed by this massive Ford’s front end during a crash.

Main Competition
The Excursion was the Blue Oval’s response to the full-size SUVs from General Motors’ camp, specifically the Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban and GMC Yukon and its longer XL iteration. However, Ford’s massive dimensions allowed it to effectively stand in a class of its own. The Excursion was over seven inches longer than the Chevy Suburban, it had a seven-inch longer wheelbase, was six inches taller, and weighed nearly a full ton more. It was also available with its turbo diesel engines while the GM products relied on unleaded fuel.
With these figures, the Excursion had no real direct competition. Rather, it provided an even larger alternative to Yukon, Suburban, and Tahoe. The Excursion also provided added size and capability over its Ford stablemate, the Expedition, which was more closely aligned with GM’s full-size SUVs. To this day, the Excursion still remains a stand-alone SUV for its sheer size and capabilities.
Q: Why was Ford Excursion discontinued?
The Excursion was discontinued primarily due to lacking sales.
Q: Is Ford Excursion still being made?
No, the Excursion was discontinued after the 2005 model year, and the model has not been revived.
Q: Is the Ford Excursion coming back?
Rumors of the Excursion re-entering Ford's lineup circulated in 2020 with Ford aiming to trademark the nameplate, but so far no actual news of its revival has come from the automaker.
Q: Is the Excursion the biggest SUV?
The Excursion is the largest mass-produced SUV to enter production.
Q: Is Excursion 4 wheel drive?
The Excursion was available either with rear-wheel or four-wheel drive.

Let’s take a trip back to 1999. Bill Clinton was President, Ask Jeeves is the largest search engine on the internet and Google just became a thing. The average price of gasoline is $1.17 per gallon across the U.S. People still have pagers, and it won’t be for eight more years till the first iPhone is released. It was a different time, it was the best of times. It was a time when Ford decided to make an SUV based on the Super Duty pickup line, and boy did they.
Based on the F250 Super Duty pickup, the Excursion is considered a heavy duty Class 2 truck. A 3/4 ton chassis with front and rear beam axles and engine options ranging from the 5.4L Triton V-8, the 6.8L Triton V-10 and the dreamy 7.3L Power Stroke V-8 Turbo Diesel. It featured a Dana 50 front axle (it is like a Dana 60 housing with Dana 44 insides), and a Ford/Sterling 10.5 rear axle, it shared three quarters of its frame with the F250, and most of its hard components were the same as well.
![how many ford excursions were made](https://www.treadmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Ford-Excursion-2003-1024-03-1024x768.jpg)
Unfortunately, in 2005, due to mixed feelings on the Excursion because of its size and poor fuel economy, especially when the life of excess was coming under fire due to a tumbling economy and rapidly rising fuel costs, the decision was made to cancel the Excursion and focus on the F-150 deprived Expedition going forward.
The 7.3L and 6.8L-powered Excursions are hot items in the Overland world, and those that have not been modified or tuned and are rust free are going up in value just as fast as a comparable Land Cruiser. It is not uncommon to find ‘00 and ‘01 7.3L Eddie Bauer trimmed Excursions selling for close to $20,000, regardless of mileage.
Being the ultimate plus-sized SUV, we can understand why. These monstrosities combined all the best parts of American diesel full-sized trucks, and mixed it with the legacy of big SUVs. Suddenly with that power stroke under the hood, you had a massive SUV that was infinitely reliable, could tow exceptionally well, and still managed to get over 20 miles per gallon. There is not a single vehicle like the Excursion, as it was, in a class all its own, and forever will be. Who might dethrone the king of excess? We do not know, but our money is on Rivian.

Is The Excursion A Future Collectible?
Imagine it's 2035. You're watching a video from the latest Barrett-Jackson collector car auction, and up pops a Ford Excursion! While this might sound fantastic, the Excursion is likely to be a collectible vehicle in the future. Here's why.

![how many ford excursions were made White ford excursion](https://d354nuoz4t18d4.cloudfront.net/8cc2193e5dbf570b75f4a78a48823aaa/images/custom/uploads/2015/06/21.jpg)
The Ford Excursion is a distinct vehicle. When it first went into production in 1999 as a 2000 year model, it was the largest SUV offered by any automaker in the US. It could accommodate as many as 9 passengers and, with a Powerstroke Diesel Engine, it was rated to tow over 10,000lbs. Based on the Super Duty truck chassis, the Excursion was Ford's biggest and baddest SUV.
However, the Excursion's mammoth size (it was nearly 19 feet long and almost 7 feet tall) made it the target of environmentalist groups. The Excursion was often cited as an example of everything that was "wrong" with the US auto industry by environmentalists. The Sierra Club nicknamed the vehicle the " Ford Valdez ," relating the vehicle to the famous Exxon oil disaster. Some groups ticketed Excursions they found in parking lots. Others (like the Earth Liberation Front) vandalized or destroyed Excursions on dealership lots.
In fact, there's a Wikipedia article that summarizes some of these occurrences, but there's not a lot of information online simply because the Internet was still quite new at this time. Suffice to say, Excursions were keyed, windows were smashed, and many were even set on fire.
While the Excursion was an icon, its sales were never mind-blowing. Over 50k units were sold in the U.S. during its first year but that fell to a cringing 16,284 sales by 2005, when the vehicle was canceled. All told, fewer than 200,000 Excursions were built.
![how many ford excursions were made Red Excursion](https://d354nuoz4t18d4.cloudfront.net/8cc2193e5dbf570b75f4a78a48823aaa/images/custom/uploads/2015/06/3f.jpg)
So What Makes The Excursion Collectible?
The main reasons that the Excursion will probably be a collector's item in the next few decades are:
- The Ford Excursion was the pinnacle of the SUV market that dominated the US auto market between the late 90s and mid-2000s; It's the most extreme SUV of the most extreme period of SUV production
- Its massive size, a characteristic that is in itself unique
- Parts will be easy to come by for decades, as it's based on Ford's Super Duty truck platform, which is well supported with lots of replacement parts to be found
- The vehicles are somewhat rare due to their low production volume, especially if we're talking about examples of the vehicle that haven't been modified by enthusiasts (Speaking of mods, you don't want to miss these Excursions .)
- The Excursion evokes strong personal feelings about the environment and the role that big SUVs play in it. For many people, collecting an Excursion will be a political statement as much as anything else.
In the years to come, the Excursion will stand as a symbol of a time when people were allowed to enjoy monster-sized SUVs, super-sized fries, and dial-up internet. Families of the early 2000s will always remember the good ol' days when mom and dad were sitting up front, while the kids were a couple of yards back watching their drop-down TV, as the family towed a small town on the way to the mall to buy distressed denim -- one might even find pictures of an Excursion on a “high tech” 4-megapixel point and shoot camera.

Sure, things weren’t perfect back then, but there will always be a nostalgia factor for this turn of the century SUV.
Today, Excursions can be found on eBay for as little as $5,000 and as much as $40,000, with the diesel-equipped Excursions commanding far more than those with the 6.8L V10. 4WD and the "Limited" trim level are also desirable. If you compare these values to Ford Expeditions and Chevy Suburbans from the same time period, it's clear that the Excursion is already more valuable than these contemporary SUVs.

How many excursions did Ford make?
Based on the search results, it seems that the user is asking about the number of excursions that Ford made. However, the search results do not provide a direct answer to this question. The search results mainly discuss the Ford Excursion as a vehicle model, its features, and its aftermarket conversions. There is also mention of the Ford Excursion being discontinued in 2005 and the possibility of it making a comeback in the future. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a specific answer to the user’s question about the number of excursions Ford made. It’s possible that this information may not be readily available or easily accessible. If the user is looking for more information about the Ford Excursion or its production numbers, I recommend reaching out to Ford directly or consulting automotive industry resources for more specific data.
How many excursions were made in 2005?
Why did ford stop making excursions, what vehicle replaced the ford excursion, what replaced the ford excursion, what years did ford make excursion, what is the rarest model a ford, how rare are ford excursions, why are 7.3 excursions so expensive, is a ford excursion bigger than a chevy suburban, which is bigger ford expedition or excursion.
It’s been more than a decade since a new Excursion hit a dealer lot. The hulking family hauler that shared its platform architecture with the F-250 Super Duty saw U.S. sales peak in 2000 at around 51,000. The automaker moved 16,283 of them in 2005, the year it was killed.
After largely meeting sales projections at its launch, demand for the model line was affected by the energy crisis of the 2000s . While able to produce 70,000 examples yearly, sales from 2001 onward struggled to reach half of that capacity, becoming the lowest-selling SUV sold by Ford or Lincoln-Mercury.
the Expedition The Ford Excursion was dropped in 2005 and was replaced by a longer-wheelbase version of the Expedition .
The Ford Excursion was dropped in 2005 and was replaced by a longer-wheelbase version of the Expedition .
There’s never been another vehicle quite like the Ford Excursion. Sold from the 2000 through 2005 model years here in the U.S., the Excursion was an SUV version of the Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup, and it offered big towing and hauling capabilities.
1931 Ford Model A Town Car Delivery The rarest of all Ford Model A body styles, the town car delivery holds a particular mystique in collector circles. Style 295-A was intended for urban commercial use as a light delivery vehicle likely for baked goods or floral use.
Of course, it also helps that Ford sold enough Excursions for them to not be excessively rare , but few enough that good ones are getting thin on the ground. Sales data claims 195,405 were sold in America between 1999 and 2005, fewer than the number of Explorers Ford sold in 2022 alone.
Ford only manufactured the Excursion model for five model years and less than 200,000 ever made it onto public roads . Many that did get put into use were driven into the ground or exported to the Middle East, where the trucks have a very popular following.
Comparison shoppers ordinarily find the Suburban a more reasonable full-size SUV than the Excursion . The Excursion is not just bigger; many buyers can’t fit it in a garage—and we’re talking about a regular-sized, suburban home garage, not a city garage.
The upcoming 2021 Ford Excursion will be the largest SUV in its segment. Previously, Excursion was 226 inches long. To compare, Expedition MAX is 222 inches long.

I will be in St. Petersburg in June on a Celebrity ship. Having been there previously, we would like to do the Journey to Moscow excursion. Celebrity lists it in the shore excursion brochure for my sail date, but it has not been available for booking on their website.
I have called Celebrity twice and both times was told that even though it is listed in the shore excursion brochure, it probably isn't being offered since it is not listed for pre-booking on the website. I have emailed Celebrity twice and received a different response. They responded that they were still working with the tour provider on the details and is not yet available for pre-booking.
Anyone have any experience with this that could offer some advice? It's frustrating that cruise line agents can be so misinformed and inconsistent in what they tell us.

Having done this one-day trip to Moscow and back on another cruise while in St. Petersburg, I might be able to share some insight. First, from dealing with some Celebrity folks about Europe options, certain of them are limited in their personal experiences and knowledge about this part of the world. Shouldn't be this way, but it is. They know more on the familiar Carib options as that is what is both closer and for which they get more of their calls/question. If they haven't done it, nor is is clear on their computer screen, they can't be of much help.
Second, that excursion to Moscow has been "evolving" during the past few years as they have switched from doing it by air flights to connection by high-speed rail. On trips like this one that is more costly and highly specialized, you will probably need to "press and push" to reach someone who is more likely to know this somewhat of a "needle in the haystack".
It's sad that you've gotten the "run-around", but sometimes the staff is not as informed and experienced as you would like, expect and need.
Do you need any background info for what you would see and do in Moscow , how it works, etc.???
THANKS! Enjoy! Terry in Ohio
Did a June 7-19, 2011, Solstice cruise from Barcelona that had stops in Villefranche, ports near Pisa and Rome, Naples, Kotor, Venice and Dubrovnik . Enjoyed great weather and a wonderful trip. Dozens of wonderful visuals with key highlights, tips, comments, etc., on these postings. We are now at 68,189 views for this live/blog re-cap on our first sailing with Celebrity and much on wonderful Barcelona. Check these postings and added info at:

What you said makes perfect sense. Thanks.
I also looked into doing this tour privately, but one tour provider informed me there were no available trains or planes to fit my ship's time in port. We will be there on a weekend so its possible that transportation does not run as frequent. I just wish Celebrity could get their act together and tell me definitively whether they will be offering the Moscow excursion.

If your cruise puts you into St. Petersburg on a weekend, that could be another complicating factor. Openings at certain places, rail schedules, etc., could be different for some days of the week. It is possible to do the Moscow trip by some private tour companies, but if there are any weather and/or scheduling complications, that could make things more difficult. Doing it through the cruise ship, makes it "their" problem, not yours!!
Doing the one-day trip to Moscow is very interesting and special. Lots of cruise lines do it now and have the practice down to a "science". BUT, that weekend timing could be delaying their finalization some on schedules.
- 3 weeks later...

I was able to book this for a June cruise in the past few days. If you look carefully in the fine print for the excursion, I believe it is because you have to begin the online check-in process since they need your passport/ID information before you can book this excursion. Try to do as much of the online check-in as you can, and I think it should appear for purchase.
It would be nice to know what the actual schedule for the Moscow excursion is. I don't believe it is actually 18.5 hours, but that is just to make sure that you can't book anything else on that day.
I was finally able to book the tour online. They just made it available for online booking the other day. I sure hope they reach the minimum number of guests so it isn't cancelled.
Not sure why it leaves at 9:30. If it indeed is an 18.5 hour tour, we won't get back until 4 am.

It looks like Celebrity edited the description to say that, for those excursions on a weekend, the actual tour will be shortened by about 2 hours due to less traffic on a weekend.
Terry (or anyone who has been on the Journey to Moscow excursion before):
Can you give me a little detail on the itinerary? The tour description says that we will have a walking tour of Red Square and the Kremlin, as well as visits to the Armoury and one of the Kremlin cathedrals. Was wondering what other Moscow sights we will get to see. Or will the rest be in the form of a panoramic bus tour? Any opportunity for souvenir shopping?
Thanks for any insights you can offer.

This was just cancelled for my cruise :( Didn't meet the minimum number of people interested in going.
There might be some options through private tour companies. We used Anastasia for our part in St. Petersburg, but she is doing these Moscow arrangements for friends, two couples, from here in Central Ohio, in late June. I would contact a couple of key, experiences firms such as Anastasia, see what she and others can offer to make this one-day train trip over and back.
Did a June 7-19, 2011, Solstice cruise from Barcelona that had stops in Villefranche, ports near Pisa and Rome, Naples, Kotor, Venice and Dubrovnik . Enjoyed great weather and a wonderful trip. Dozens of wonderful visuals with key highlights, tips, comments, etc., on these postings. We are now at 82,951 views for this live/blog re-cap on our first sailing with Celebrity and much on wonderful Barcelona. Check these postings and added info at:
For details and visuals, etc., from our July 1-16, 2010, Norway Coast/Fjords/Arctic Circle cruise experience from Copenhagen on the Silver Cloud, check out this posting. This posting is now at 70,872 views.

You have probably figured out now that not only excursions, but many other things aboard ship are misleading, if not downright fraudulent. The ship crew, staff and clerks are all going to do pretty much what they want to, but not only on the Royal Caribbean's Celebrity brand, but almost all cruise ships - the captain can almost get away with murder. Aren't you glad you don't have to work on one of these vessels? Also make sure you don't get involved in any type of dispute, as even some crime gets swept under the ship - well, not all, like the Costa that crashed & tipped over, but not sure even then much will happen, as all passengers signed all their rights away before they got on board.
Hope you have enjoyed your cruise by now and maybe look back here on the board. About the only way to get any knowledge about the ships, excursions, etc. is through sites like this.
As we are sailing a year from now on Celebrity Constellation - Aug 12, we were wondering too about shows aboard, excursions (both ship and private), if you ever got to Moscow, etc. Please write to us at:

We will be in St. Petersburg in July and want to take Celebrity's tour to Moscow. Please let us know if you liked it or not and how long it was. This is going to be our second time in St. Petersburg but will like to take a private tour on day #2. Did you do something the day after your Moscow tour? We are traveling with our teenagers and worry about them being too tired :rolleyes:

I thought I would bump this up. We will be on the Brilliance this time next year and are very interested in doing this our. Are there still people out there that have done it? I would love to hear what you thought of the tour, the travel part and what you were able to see while in Moscow. Was it worth the price?

I would love to hear what you thought of the tour' date=' the travel part and what you were able to see while in Moscow. Was it worth the price?[/quote'] We just did this tour and really liked it, but this was our second time in St. Petersburg. If this is your first time there I don't know if it's the best choice. You spend most of the day in airports and buses. Our meeting time at the ship was 6:45 AM, followed by a 45 min. long drive to the airport. Then we had to wait for a 10:00 AM one hour flight to Moscow. As you can see we arrived after 11:00 AM followed by another 30 minutes ride to the city. We were taken to the Red Square, to take a subway ride, followed by a coffee and tea break, then to the Kremlin armory museum (where we spend most of our time), also visited the Cathedral of the Annunciation, and back to the Red Square. Were only given half hour for shopping, followed by a really long dinner at a local restaurant. Our flight back to St. Petersburg departed half hour late, arriving at 11:30 PM. It took a while for the bus to pick us up, another 45 min. drive to the port and we were at our rooms by 1:00 AM. This means that if you want to see St. Petersburg the next day, you are going to be really tired. BTW, I'm not complaining, this tour was so popular on our cruise that they had two groups for the first time. Most of my friends were on that group and they had the worst time. Their flight left earlier than ours and although they were taken to more places than us, they ended up on a later flight and arrived in St. Petersburg after 12:30 AM. The problem was that the tour company knew that they were not going to make it on time to the bridges that connect the city to the area where the ship docks. The elevated bridges go up at 1:30 AM in the morning and are taken back after 5:00 AM. Can you believe that our tour guide made fun of the fact that the other bus was not going to make it on time? It was really frustrating for them to watch the bridges go up in front of their eyes. They finally found online a bridge that goes down for periods of 15 min. and were able to go back to the ship after 3:00 AM. Some of them couldn't make it to their tours the next day. Remember, this is Russia, if you don't make it to your tour the next day, you won't be able to leave the ship. My friends tried to take a taxi and catch up with us, but their visa stated a 9:00AM pick up time and had to stay on the ship. We liked our tour, but it is up to you to decide if it's worth it. The time that you actually spend in Moscow is really limited. If by any chance you are given a late flight on your way back, start screaming and demand an earlier flight. The tour company hired by Celebrity is going to buy the cheapest flights to make more money. Just my two cents. I tried to research this tour before our cruise and didn't find too much information. Hope this helps. BTW, I was concern about the planes used for the flights, if you are too, don't be. The flight was great and were even given a sandwich with juice or water. I do have to say that we felt that we were on a PanAm 1970's flight. The attendants were all really young, skinny and beautiful, wore heavy make up and complicated hair styles. I was also not impressed by either St. Petersburg or Moscow's airports. No restrooms close to the gates, two flights leaving at the same time through the same gate, just a mess!! Before our tour I couldn't understand how Edward Snowden could hide for such a long time on an airport, after visiting Moscow's international airport it just made sense. Hope you enjoy your Baltic cruise.

Thanks for the details. I was quite curious about it. Unfortunately it doesn't sound like you got to see so much there. Fortunately as you say it was your second time in SPB, so you can compare and see the differences between the cities. They are very different.
On our Celebrity cruise, it was sold out, but I didn't come across anyone who took the tour to find out their experiences.

Thank you for posting your experience. You have given me a lot to think about. It just seemed like a good idea, now I need to think really hard about it. I would hate to have our second day messed up in SPB.
We did Celebrity's Journey to Moscow excursion in July 2012. We had been to St. Petersburg before so decided to do something different. Interestingly, this excursion had been cancelled on some of the previous cruises that summer as a result of not enough people signed up. There were about 20 people on our excursion.
In a nutshell, I recommend the excursion and would do it again, but there are some caveats:
1. I would probably not go to Moscow if this was my first time visiting St. Petersburg. SP is full of wonderful sites so I would spend my two port days there seeing all the city sites, including the Hermitage, as well as visiting one of the palaces outside the city.
2. If you go to Moscow and plan on taking a tour in SP the next day, be aware (as someone else posted) that the tour returns to the ship very late and you might have difficulty getting up early enough the next morning for your SP tour. Our flight didn't land back in SP until after midnight and we were unable to cross the bridges before they rose. We didn't return back to the ship until after 2am, but because we anticipated that this might happen, we booked an afternoon private car in SP. We actually ended up enjoying being out late in SP with the bridges up as our bus and guide drove us around the city late at night and it was a surreal experience, especially during the white nights of summer.
3. We thought the time in Moscow could have been better organized, allowing us more time to see Red Square and the Kremlin buildings, but we were prevented from doing so due to horrendous traffic around Moscow, a very long-winded local tour guide, and too much time spent stopping for a coffee break (which was entirely unnecessary IMO). We also had almost no time to shop and the time spent in Red Square was much too short. Again, I mostly blamed this on our guide who talked too much rather than allowing us free time to wander around. I ditched the guide and our group before we were actually dismissed for free time so that I could wander around Red Square and make a few purchases from a street artist (local art and crafts on the street are of high quality and inexpensive IMO).
4. The dinner, while served in a beautiful, elegant setting, was mediocre at best. Lots of alcohol, but I've had better beef stroganoff in a school cafeteria.
Having provided you with these caveats, I still would take the tour again. It was a fascinating and magical experience. From the very interesting airport and airplane experience, to having the opportunity to visit the Kremlin sites and Red Square, it was worth it for us. It was a whirlwind of a tour, lasting about 18 hours from the time we left the ship until we returned.
I hope this helps others make a decision about this tour.

I was finally able to book the tour online. They just made it available for online booking the other day. I sure hope they reach the minimum number of guests so it isn't cancelled. Not sure why it leaves at 9:30. If it indeed is an 18.5 hour tour, we won't get back until 4 am.
We are on May 21, 2017 Eclipse and want to do the same tour.
There are several trains per day even on weekends and holidays. If it is the weekend I would say you are better off flying as traffic will be a little better than on a weekday especially in the morning. There are probably several flights an hour. The train is modern and comfortable but not especially scenic.
Since you need a visa anyway you could also consider arranging a Moscow tour guide to meet you at the airport and arrange your own transport to Moscow. An airport taxi should be easy to arrange in St Petersburg or use Uber. Aeroflot tickets are easy to buy online.

Many that did get put into use were driven into the ground or exported to the Middle East, where the trucks have a very popular following. Why are 7.3 excursions so expensive? Ford only manufactured the Excursion model for five model years and less than 200,000 ever made it onto public roads .
